Oh, fuck the KKKonfederate Dickbite.

Never knew McKinney worked so much.

Oh, sweet heavenly hosts! It is to howl! Bill McKinney, “Mr. Squeal Like A Pig,” looks like my sweet old Uncle Ted. Anyone who proudly has a website with that name is a hero in my book!

Wading through the comments over there (I know, I know, reading them is the equivalent smoking 500 cigarettes a day for your health) I see two brave souls, Jim and Macgruber, try to talk some economic sense to the rabble. Silly boys. That’s like trying to teach quantum physics to a house cat.

And who’s this Mckinney character? I always thought that was Bob Owens in Deliverance.

They’re really not hiding it any more, are they?

Wolcott informs us of the following:

A few days ago notice was taken (I’m practicing my passive voice) of economist Arnold Kling’s contention that the Obama stimulus plan was actually “reparations” in disguise. Given the complexion of our new president, this was interpreted as injecting a needless bit of race-baiting into the economic debate, raising the specter of a million Jeremiah Wrights marching on the capital mall with outstretched hands, demanding their cut of the action. Oh dear me no, protested Kling. No coded race talk was intended….

[…]

And there the matter might have rested had not Kling surrendered to heat of candor today at a Heritage Foundation/Club for Growth confab and decried, “Barack Obama is destroying my daughter’s future. It is like sitting there watching my house ransacked by a gang of thugs.”

[…]

Anytime Obama’s name and “thug” are thrown in close proximity, it’s a pretty sure bet that the speaker or author intends to fan the anxiety and animosity of those who think Obama’s presidency represents black grievance gloved with the iron fist of the state–and out to punish whitey. No wonder so many would-be Wolverines in the right blogs are talking about stocking up on assault rifles and ammo–they’ve got ransackers running wild in their imaginations too.

Now remember what Reagan advisor Lee Atwater, one of the architects of the deeply racist Southern Strategy and the guy who brought it to full flower under Reagan, had to say back in the early 1980s:

Atwater: You start out in 1954 by saying, ‘Nigger, nigger, nigger.’ By 1968 you can’t say ‘nigger’ – that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states’ rights and all that stuff. You’re getting so abstract now [that] you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I’m not saying that. But I’m saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me – because obviously sitting around saying, ‘We want to cut this,’ is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than ‘Nigger, nigger.’

Lyndon Johnson once said that, growing up in Texas, you knew when the political season began because the politicians speeches were larded with “nigra, nigra, nigra”.

thx for that classic quote from Atwater — really the prototypical neo-con asshat, wasn’t he. Though, if he’s right, then it quite is striking how quickly and willingly Obama was led down the path of tax cuts and empowering “whitey” (in the shape of wall street and the banks) — almost makes you question just how black he really is…

This simile was equally classy when Ann Coulter did it with OJ and Nicole.

I have also learned that you can be charged with a criminal threat while using more than your mouth.

The problem is that the Republicans wouldn’t have voted for it at all without the tax cuts — and we need the stimulus like yesterday.

I wish Bob would eat some peanuts.

Doesn’t Ex-President Bush (I just love saying that) have a well-documented love for peanut butter sandwiches?

Bob’s been a little hog-obsessed of late.

Thank God I’m alive!! I’m a white woman who has lived with, slept with and is friends with many of our darker-skinned citizens and I haven’t been beat up yet. Have I been hanging around with the wrong ni**ers? I mean, they are all animals, right?

And it’s just a matter of time before Obama beats the living shit out of Michelle because that’s the way dark-skinned people are.

Can I please have at least 4 years of not having to listen to one stinking Republican? Just a national ‘Time Out’ where we don’t have to listen to assholes on the right who don’t know what they are talking about and never have because ‘facts’ have a liberal bias.

Does Barack have to smack an economy?
